About this property

Inner city garden studio in the heart of Footscray

Immerse yourself in the luxury of our architecturally designed, boutique style accommodation. The private garden studio is ideal for couples or singles in need of a rejuvenating escape, peaceful work space or a special stay when visiting family. Relax with long sleep ins, soak up the sun in the secluded garden, or be part of the action and explore all the surroundings have to offer.

You will instantly feel relaxed once you step foot inside our studio. The natural light, curated styling, and polished concrete floors make it a beautiful space to just stop, relax and reconnect.

You will have the entire studio to yourself, including the private deck and courtyard garden where you will love sitting with a morning coffee or relaxing with a sunset dinner, delivered from one of the many restaurants in the area.

The “amazing location” our previous guests rave about is the proximity to Footscray, Melbourne CBD, Flemington racecourse and surrounding suburbs. With the train station only 350m away you are never far from the action.

We provide linen, unlimited FREE WIFI Internet and a table to work on.

Please make use of our basic pantry stocked with coffee, black and herbal teas, salt, pepper & olive oil. Please pop into a shop for any extra supplies you may require (including milk, if you take it!)

We have an enhanced cleaning routine due to Covid19, and we’re taking extra care to disinfect frequently touched surfaces between reservations.

Self check in, complete privacy and seclusion and an “amazing location” gives you the best of what our studio has to offer.

We look forward to hosting you.

The studio was a delightful place to stay in the heart of Footscray. Very clean, comfortable and well appointed with a lovely outside shaded space to enjoy the sun. Inge the host was an excellent communicator who responded promptly and helpfully with out queries. Being able to check-in slightly earlier and leave our luggage on the deck until we were ready to leave was great - as was having the station literally just round the corner meaning transport into Melbourne central took no time at all! A great place to stay and one we can definitely recommend particularly if you want to see a vibrant, multi-cultural area of Melbourne!

Studio was very neat and charming and the location was fantastic. So close to train station, though never heard trains, really easy to go into CBD for food and attractions. Would love to stay here next time visit Melbourne. Though maybe softer towels would be appreciated. Thanks Inge for such a great place to stay!

Country Vibe City Stay

My stay at Inges beautiful studio was relaxing and I felt very comfortable with how secure the property was. Gorgeous green surrounding - felt like I was in the country, yet so close to train station and convenient. I wasn't disturb by any noise from the station at all.

This modern beautifully styled studio could not be any more convenient to Footscray station, yet it is located in a quiet, leafy street. This makes for a very pleasant stay indeed. The studio is comfortable and well equipped and I felt very secure there by myself.

Good choice for a couple

Well looked after and tastefully furnished studio, secure and in a great location next to station. We were able to go everywhere we wanted on public transport even though had the car with us. There are some nice places for food and drink nearby, but so easy to jump on train to another nearby station to find somewhere. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a break in Melbourne to see the sights.

Fantastic Studio Apartment close to CBD

The apartment was nicely decorated, well-equipped, airconditioned and only about 50m from the Footscray station. We heard the train toots and the announcements but the proximity outweighed this occasional noise for us. There is a leafy outlook in the courtyard. The hosts also kindly provided a small ramp to assist my husband in his wheelchair to enter (his wheelie walker enabled access to the bathroom with its narrower door). The quiet street has good parking using a visitor parking permit from the host. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Inge

Host profile image
I love living in Melbourne with my adult children. I like to travel, make things, visit art galleries and share the great things Melbourne and country Victoria have to offer.
You don't have to travel far out of Melbourne to get into nature. I love the towns and countryside in Western Victoria where I grew up and the West coast for amazing beaches.

Why they chose this property

Close to the centre of Footscray but also to lovely walking tracks, the river and the trains that get you into the city in 10 minutes, the best of both worlds

What makes this property unique

A secluded bolthole in a beautiful historic part of Footscray.
